Thanks for all the replies, looks like this mod may not be the best idea. Lots of work, and id get a very unreliable engine at the end. I am still going to try out pulling the 2 injectors see how it runs anyway. Maybe when the car is about to die ill try it out the full mod just for the curiosity.

I may try out deactivating one cylinder by pulling the injector connector, and deactivating the valves, I guess if honda does it for efficiency then there might be some gains hopefully the mod works and they just aren't doing it for marketing. Ill have to research this a bit and read through the replies properly when I have more time.

Edkiefer just out of interest how have you found info about compatibility of parts between different cars. I have never known how to find out if a part from one car is suitable for mine.
